FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
11/21/22: I was driving on a city street at the posted speed limit ( speed limit 25mph) and I noticed there was some road construction ahead that included steel plates on the street. There was no car ahead of me, but there was traffic behind me. I slowed and then braked slightly so I wouldn't hit the plates at full speed. Right then my car literally "slammed on the brakes" and I came to a complete stop before crossing the plates. Everything on the passenger seat flew to the floor and the car engine died. I did see an orange warning but it happened so quickly I don't recall what it was but I'm guessing it was the BRAKE warning. Thank goodness the driver behind me was paying attention or this would have caused a rear end accident! I did not go to the Honda dealer at the time but I read about this same type of issue which I think was caused by the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). I also read that this system cannot be turned off. It's just a matter of time before a serious accident occurs as a result of this defect in the CMBS system!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
These cars have had this problem for years according to an independent Honda garage. Wife complained the car wouldn't accelerate when the accelerator pedal was mashed. I thought it was a mistake she had caused. A week or so later, I experienced the same issue. I mashed the gas, entered a 4 lane 45 mph street & the car wouldn't accelerate. With cars bearing down, I don't know what I did, but managed to finally get the car to move. I've taught defensive driver training, road raced in SCCA & have well over a million miles behind the wheel, NEVER have I had this occur before. I'd heard of unintended acceleration, but I had just experienced non-intended acceleration. I talked to 4 different Honda service writers at different dealers, none admitted being aware of this problem. After multiple occurrences of the same issue, I went into an independent Honda garage, started explaining what had happened. The owner's wife came out from behind her desk, picked up 1 of 5 boxes on the counter & said, "This is your problem & why we keep this many cause it's a common & frequent problem," The box contained an Accelerator Position Sensor. She explained it is a common problem with Honda vehicles equipped with these position sensors. I've reported this problem before & wrote a letter to Honda America. I haven't heard of a resolution to replace these defective electronic sensors. If someone with my experience is almost hit by oncoming vehicles due to these defective accelerator position sensors, I wonder how many people have been injured or killed because their Honda would not accelerate when needed. It is something NHTSA needs to investigate. Enlist independent garages to determine how much of a problem these sensors pose, dealerships are not viable responders As a result of this continuing problem, we wanted to get rid of the vehicle, had an opportunity to sell the vehicle & did.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving on highway MPH 65-75 vehicle will show break sign and give sound warning and auto break with no car in front that would indicate a need for such an event. This has happened more than a few times and each time the vehicle slows quickly enough to jerk your head forward and scare the crap out of not only myself but my children. This even happens when the cruise control is on and set.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The summer of 2021 my back windshield broke spontaneously reasons unknown. I had the window replaced shortly after, but I have noticed an odd unaligned shift in my back end lift gate/hitch. My hitch loses a tad off and there is a bigger gap difference between the driver side and the passenger side. My vehicle has not been in an incident that would cause this issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Infotainment System Will randomly glitch. No touching or pressing of buttons beforehand. And no access to do anything while glitching. Infotainment System Will spontaneously beep like you are pressing buttons, go from light to dark at different speeds. Very distracting while driving. Especially when nothing can be done to fix. Once car is turned off and restarted it does seem to “most of the time” make it go away for a bit. Nor rhyme or reason as to when it will happen. Hot or cold, AC or heat etc.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The left rear subframe and suspension have corroded right off the body/frame completely. The right rear side of the frame is almost completely corroded off of the body as well. These are both illegal to repair by law due to safety, being that it’s a unibody construction.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning, stopping the car abruptly while I was traveling at 25 + MPH without any hazard ahead and no imminent collision. I was nearly rear ended and have suffered a strain of left thumb which was on steering wheel and will now need to be seen by medical personnel. The Red BRAKE signal came on but the car immediately braked to a dead stop within a second. I am calling the dealer next.

AIR BAGS
The passenger airbag light stays on after the car is started and in motion. Regardless if there is a passenger seated or not. The car was taken in to the dealership during the recalls on takata airbag replacement. The passenger airbag light was off and now the light been staying on. I am extremely concern if my family or someone else gets into an accident, the airbag won’t deploy or may randomly deploy on its own.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving on a highway at approximately 50 mph at night. No other vehicles in front for a very long distance. Our cars brakes automatically engaged (CMBS system) causing an abrupt stop in the middle of the road. Vehicle behind almost rear-ended us, but did not. Luckily, there was no collision or injuries. Do not trust the CMBS system anymore and disable it when driving now.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving slowly down the street in my 2018 Honda CRV with no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. Suddenly, the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged and stopped my car. I began driving again and about a minute later the same thing happened again even though there was no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. This is a serious safety issue and I am having my Honda dealer inspect the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Honda CRV- 2013 has door locking and unlocking on its own, mainly located on the passenger side. This happens even when I am driving. My locks will just start locking and unlocking repeatedly like there is a short in the system. This is causing some type of serious drain on my brand-new battery which I just bought 2 weeks ago. Somehow the door locks are causing my entire battery to go Dead. I have had to jump-start my car these past few days! this a serious and defect that is all over the internet.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Unknown- I did receive a letter appears to be from Honda Automobile Division stating a EPS Gearbox Replacement. NHTSA website didn't have any recalls for my 2022 Honda CR-V. Honda dealership didn't appear knowledgeable with the recall and said they haven't had anyone else come in for the repair. Is it a legitimate recall?
